Hemingway Opens New Playground

Hemingway Elementary School has brand new playground equipment to enjoy this year! Due to the fact that replacement parts were becoming unavailable and that some structures were no longer compliant with current safety codes, the upgrade became a reality. Funding was provided by the Blaine County School District, the fund-raising efforts of the Hemingway Parent Auxiliary, as well as donations from St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center, and Ketchum Mayor Amy Jonas. The crew from District Buildings and Grounds worked hard all summer to complete the construction.  To see more photos go here .
